I have really painful cuts and hard skin on the bottom of my feet and tops of my toes have tried lots of cream?

i have tried endless creams but nothing works any ideas?|||I cover my feet in vaseline and then put socks on before bed. This will soften everything up. You%26#039;ll see a difference after the first night. I also use an exfoliating foot scrub a couple of times a week. That should work for you.|||Gold bond is a great cream - found at the drug store.





I also suggest you get a pumice stone so when your feet heal a little you can use it to smooth them down in the shower.





Vaseline (the brand) makes a cocoa butter gel it%26#039;s clear/brown top (CVS makes the same thing cheaper) it%26#039;s great to use in the shower for seriously dead/dry skin - it locks in moisture.





Do not use the Vaseline and sock trick. Contrary to what everyone thinks Vaseline Petroleum jelly is not a helpful product for any part of your body - it%26#039;s PETROLEUM -


stick to pure and natural.





Also - Dr. Scholls makes a cracked heel cream it%26#039;s in the foot section of a drug store.|||Soak your feet in water and then use a foot rasp to remove as much hard skin as you can around your cuts. Then bind those cuts, so they have time to heal. That hard skin shrinks as it drys, pulling the skin apart. If it is hard, that means it is dead callused skin, so you need to get rid of it. Moisturizers only work with living skin.





Also find what is causing the skin to form. Poorly fitted shoes are usually the cause. Callused skin forms to protect the skin under it from friction.|||Sounds more like a fungal infection. My son had a similar bout with it. He was in alot of pain, and nothing over-the-counter helped. He made an apppointment with a pediatrist ( foot doctor ). It was determined that he indeed had a fungus. Was given a lotion to use, and within 24hrs. he began to see results. You have to find a pharmacy that does compounding. I suggest to see a pediatrist.|||Have you tried Gold Bond? Seriously, I have found it to be the BEST!...Also, keep those feet DRY, change socks frequently, wear leather shoes so your feet can %26quot;breathe%26quot;!!!
